Notable because this is a right-wing news outlet suddenly saying what was considered so far left that mainstream news would not say it.

    Yes, Trump is a criminal. But it’s important to point out that he’s a second rate criminal.

    Trump has been tied to the NY Mafia since his early days. You don’t put up buildings in Manhattan or casinos in New Jersey without ‘connections.’

    The thing is, which mobsters was he dealing with on a day to day basis? Do you think a Michael Corleone, or even a Tony Montana, is going to spend time with a loud mouth fool like Donnie? Someone who can’t be trusted to keep their mouth shut? No, the big bosses sent their disposable stooges, and that’s who Trump learned from.

    A real boss would have extorted $50 billion from the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2016. Trump is Fredo, is every sense of the word.

    Sorry, the NY Daily News is not to be trusted for anything outside of NYC sports, even if it is saying something we agree with.

    Based on some web searches, this seems to be a left-leaning outlet. Perhaps you had it confused with a different one?

      No. I think that some of the sites that claim to rank outlet bias intentionally describe center-right content as “left” in order to skew how people view things

        Well center is a somewhat subjective designation. But I’m speaking with respect to the general distribution of politics in the US, which certainly skews right compared to some other contexts.

        Sounds like you define center differently.
